Plans to update the building for the benefit of residents include a porte-cochère canopy that would extend over the drop-off area at the entrance to the building. Silber and Rogers say the canopy would not only serve the practical purpose of sheltering residents from the elements, but also activate the streetscape in front of the property. The entrance itself will also be realigned and updated.
A covered porch would also be added to the southeast corner of the building.
Finally, a new bay of balconies would be added to the western side of the building, which would serve both the care function of the property, and the leisure use by residents.
The architect hired by Springhouse is John Maisto of BKV Group, and VIKA is the engineering and landscape engineering firm on the project.

"Plans to update the building for the benefit of residents..."
What residents? They kicked them all out several months ago.
Yes, it's very odd that Dyer's article does not mention, even indirectly, that the facility is vacant.
If you want to read about what is actually happening to this facility, you have to go elsewhere.
Robert Dyer broke this story (as usual).
When you want to be the first to know... :)
4:21: Everything that is "actually happening to this facility" is in my article. You need to learn how to read.
And dyer gets drawn into insulting his readers. Can you imagine if he had constituents?
7:08 AM The current Council isn't known for their decorum.
Remember Leventhal's outbursts at staff?
To become the Peaceful Tomorrows Euthanasia Clinic.
12:50 PM Yes, they are modifying the building per Dyer's article.
Even for a shill, that's just embarrassing, 1:25 PM.
It's not "normal" for the owners of an Assisted Living to move all of the residents out to other facilities in the area (including competitors) if they still own the facility.
